To evaluate error levels in hemoglobin A1c (A1C) and glycated albumin (GA) in type 2 diabetic patients due to inter-individual variability.
Type 2 diabetic patients with stable glycemic control and without complications affecting either A1C or GA were enrolled (n=154; age 68.4+/-9.9 years). Blood examination was performed 1-4h after breakfast or lunch every 2-3 months on > or =3 occasions. A1C data were changed to IFCC values for analysis.
A1C and GA correlated significantly with postprandial plasma glucose. The correlation coefficient between A1C and GA was 0.728 (p<0.001) when calculated using raw data and 0.747 (p<0.001) when calculated using averaged data for each patient. The ratio R of GA to A1C was 3.88+/-0.50 for raw data and 3.88+/-0.47 for averaged data, indicating coefficients of variation of R (CV(R)) of 12.9% and 12.1%, respectively. Multiple regression analysis reduced CV(R) to 11.2%. After dividing CV(R)(2) into CV(A1C)(2) and CV(GA)(2), CV(A1C) and CV(GA) were calculated as 9.1% for raw data and 8.6% for averaged data, and were reduced to 7.9% after multiple regression analysis.
Error levels in A1C and GA reach 7.9-9.1%, suggesting the existence of maximal 18% errors in A1C and GA levels.
评估 2 型糖尿病患者由于个体间差异导致的糖化血红蛋白(HbA1c)和糖化白蛋白(GA)的误差水平。
纳入血糖控制稳定且无影响 HbA1c 或 GA 的并发症的 2 型糖尿病患者(n=154;年龄 68.4±9.9 岁)。每 2-3 个月早餐或午餐后 1-4 小时进行 3 次以上的血液检查。为了分析,将 HbA1c 数据转换为 IFCC 值。
HbA1c 和 GA 与餐后血浆葡萄糖显著相关。当使用原始数据计算时,HbA1c 和 GA 之间的相关系数为 0.728(p<0.001),当使用每个患者的平均数据计算时,相关系数为 0.747(p<0.001)。GA 与 HbA1c 的比值 R 为原始数据的 3.88±0.50 和平均数据的 3.88±0.47,表明 R 的变异系数(CV(R))分别为 12.9%和 12.1%。多元回归分析将 CV(R)降低至 11.2%。将 CV(R)2 分为 CV(HbA1c)2 和 CV(GA)2 后,计算原始数据的 CV(HbA1c)为 9.1%,平均数据为 8.6%,多元回归分析后降至 7.9%。
HbA1c 和 GA 的误差水平达到 7.9-9.1%,提示 HbA1c 和 GA 水平的最大误差为 18%。
